      While <application>systemd</application> was installed when
      building LFS, there are many features provided by the package that
      were not included in the initial installation because
      <application>Linux-PAM</application> was not yet installed.
      The <application>systemd</application> package needs to be
      rebuilt to provide a working <command>systemd-logind</command> service,
      which provides many additional features for dependent packages.

        Installing the package will overwrite all files installed by
        <application>systemd</application> in LFS. It is critical that
        nothing uses either <application>systemd</application> or
        <application>Udev</application> libraries during the installation.
        The best way to ensure that these libraries are not being used is to
        run the installation in rescue mode. To switch to rescue mode,
        run the following command as the
        <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user (from a TTY):
      </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>systemctl start rescue.target</userinput></screen>
